Shopping cart, WTF?
● Sell stuff on the Internet
● Accept payment, deliver something in return
● Sell things like: products, services, goods,
information, access, downloads, events, tickets,
auction sites
● Catalog → product → price → payment →
delivery


Examples
● Standard sites:
● http://postertext.com
● http://audreyblue.com
● Customised sites:
● http://pawsforlife.com.au
● http://agilemail.com.au

The competition!
●Good selection of open source shopping cart
software is available
Lot of it is “not so good” – OSCOMMERCE
●

Some of it is good – Magneto Commerce
●

But mostly they're “not so good”:
●

● Poorly documented, no API
● Customisations, difficult
● Updates are PAINFUL
● Fragmented community
● No formal issue queue, standards etc.

Why use Drupal?
Drupal has solved many of these project
●

management issues and QA is good.
(Don't take my word for it – try the competition!)
●

Highly customisable, extensible
●

Drupal does have good shopping cart modules:
●

● Ubercart (Drupal 6 & 7)
http://drupal.org/project/ubercart
●

● Commerce (Drupal 7 only)

● http://drupal.org/project/commerce


Build your website
Do the usual Drupal build steps:
●

● Install Drupal and required modules
● Design or select required theme
● Customise installation, as required
● Test, test and test some more
Common areas for customisation:
●

● Catalog (less clicks)
● Product display (make it sexy!)
● Pricing options (making choice easier)
● Checkout process (reduce steps)

Why EWAY?


Why EWAY?
API agnostic:
●

● Banks can have different credit card APIs
● Drupal modules exist for specific Banks
● General one which covers multiple Banks, see
http://drupal.org/project/uc_migs
● EWAY is a credit card processor, talks to all Banks
● Provides independence from any single Bank


Why EWAY?
Security:
●

● Storing credit cart details is a very bad idea
● You become a target and are liable for breaches.
● Security is your problem.
● This is not a nice problem to have.
● So let someone else have this stress, EWAY!
● All credit card details are sent to EWAY over the
wire, processed in real-time and never stored.
● Great anti-scam, anti-fraud features


Why EWAY?
Features:
●

● Have rich XML post-response based API,
http://www.eway.com.au/Developer/eway-api/
● Support token-based recurring transactions
● SMS transaction report
● Web control panel: reports, refunds, manual
transactions
● Based in Canberra, Phillip
● Great phone and developer support (they listen!)
● Affordable

Recommended payment options
Don't force customers to pay using credit card
●

Provide payment options, make the sale!
●

● EFT (direct deposit)
● Cheque
● Paypal
● Credit card


Recurring payments
Drupal module, http://drupal.org/uc_recurring
●

Maintained by this guy, Chris Hood (thanks Chris!)
●

● chris@univate.com.au, http://univate.com.au


Recurring payments
● Ability to set up recurring billing schedules:
● For individual products
● Entire orders (bunch of products)
● Can notify customer when payment due
● Or even better - bill the customer automatically
if credit card details are stored (eek!)
● EWAY integration utilises tokenised payments,
100% secure
● Token used to bill customer, not CC stored
(YAY!)


Recurring payments
● Workflow overview (recurring & EWAY):
1.Customer submits order and credit card details
2.Customer details and credit card sent to EWAY
3.EWAY returns token
4.Drupal stores token with order
5.Each billing cycle, token sent to EWAY with bill
amount
6.EWAY uses token to bill customer
7.EWAY returns success / fail to Drupal


Recurring payments
● Watch for expiring credit cards, notify the
customer to update their details
● This modules was developed to solve this
problem,
http://drupal.org/project/uc_recurring_cc_notify
● Automatically notifies customer


Demo
● Recurring payments configuration, products
and order


Security
Keep software up to date
●

Disable modules not being used
●

Complex passwords
●

Do not store credit card details, at all
●

Dodgy hosting
●

Backups
●

SSL
●

Check logs and investigate errors
●


Scams and fraud
Merchant beware
●

Stolen credit cards
●

Dodgy orders
●

EWAY helps protect against fraud
●

Merchant diligence
●


Startup and running costs
Paypal reduces startup costs
●

●Not recommended for large transactions, best to
use EFT for those (protect the margin!)
Banks will charge:
●

● 2% to 3% per transaction
● plus annual fee
● plus account keeping fee
● Plus plus plus...


Startup and running costs
EWAY will charge
●

●
Annual fee (free in 1st year)
● 0.50c per transaction
SSL certificate $75 to $150 per year
●

●Your time to process orders and update website
(this does not happen automagically!)


Final thoughts
Website performance matters, a lot
●

Customers do not tolerate mistakes
●

Your competitor is one click away
●

Process refunds quickly
●

Verify each transaction is legitimate
●

Treat security seriously
●

Optimising the user experience does work
●

Automate and monitor what you can
●
